If using this over ombre, can you apply to the entire head (base dark brown, red ombre has faded to auburn) and it not come out all one colour?

The only way I got the color to stick and be true to box was by bleaching the hair first until it was basically white blonde. The color doesn't last long once applied it maybe stayed two weeks tops. If you apply to dark hair it may have a hint of the color but only visible in very bright lighting . Hope that helps answer your question

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

I would apply it to the scalp, not the hair. If your hair happens to be gray, you risk danger of hair discoloration (since the product is orange)

Because it is not real human hair, it probably will not accept dye well. And it could blend with your hair if the color and texture match well and if you style it to hide the seam (with pins, backcombing, etc.). Also, the hair color appears slightly darker in reality than it does in the photos (at least this is true for the extensions that I received). Hope this helps.

I have color treated dark brown hair and it does not hurt the color any. If anything the system helps preserve the color and make it stand out more by removing the brassiness/orange.

You can concentrate your application to around your face. I use it only on the crown of my head where the grays show up more pronounced & it shades the gray to a light brown, helping to blend the gray hairs in better. You have to apply the glaze each time you wash, because it is only a temporary tinting.

I have a full head of hair, so I cannot answer fully. I do know the dye will discolor the skin around my face brown if I am not careful. I would presume it does this scalp to some degree as well. How dark and how long it would last I cannot say.

Not that I'm aware of. It's kind of more like a toner. It says on the bottle it can be used on all kinds of hair colors. I have brown hair with highlights. It's just kind of revives the highlights but doesn't affect the rest of my hair.

I got this in mid-March and had my hairdresser bleach out the bottom 5" and do an ombre. I brought home the other half tube and mixed it with conditioner that I use to touch up the color. As it fades, on me it's gone a lighter blue and purple with maybe a little green, but not much. It's actually a nice color mixture as it fades.

I have medium to dark brown hair. The first time I left it in for almost 3 hours and it was quite a difference. It faded to a nice color though. Subsequent touch-ups I only leave in for 45 -60 minutes. The difference isn't as striking. It still has a reddish tint to it, especially in the right light. However, it is not the color on the package. If you are concerned, you may want to condition your hair and then not leave in as long. There are two packages per box. You can always apply the second time if you want it more red.

Yes you can put henna on top of dark black hair. I have black hair and I use this once a month. Your hair will not turn red though. It will just strengthen your hair a whole lot. If your hair is light black you may see some amber shine in the light. Henna isn't a "hair dye" it is a natural plant and it bonds to the keritain in your hair staining it. So it's not actually stripping off your color so if your hair is blonde you will see the red. If your hair is dark you may not see it but it is still well worth it. My hair is past my butt because of how strong it makes your hair. Which before henna I was lucky to get past my shoulders because of split ends.

Since it's red, it will fade quickly. Red always does fade fast no matter if you use a color protection shampoo or any other sort of color treatment/protection hair color. I always shampoo and rinse with cold water to help prevent fading, and the upkeep is ridiculous because of how fast it fades. I used this protect when I had dark brown hair, and had to dye it twice to achieve the shade of red that I wanted.. So perhaps dyeing it on black hair may not be a good idea, and I definitely would not bleach your hair beforehand considering this lightens before the dye sticks. Hope this helps!

I have no experience with this brand of henna, so not quite sure why Amazon asked if I could answer this question...lol...but my hair is a very dark brown, almost black, and when I use henna my hair never turned a noticeable orange or red color...I could see it, but it toned down after the color oxidized. It still looks dark brown. So, if this brand turned your hair red, and not auburn, I would have to wonder what dyes are being used along with the henna in this mixture. Henna only dyes orange, not red. What you could do is try amla. Amla is used if I remember correctly to cool down the orange in henna, giving a cool brown, as in a not warm brown. Indigo with henna is usually used for a blue-black type shade. But since I'm worried that this isn't pure henna since it gave you a red, maybe you could buy both indigo and amla and test with some hair from your brush or comb and see if there's any odd color reactions before doing your whole head. Or maybe check out some of the darker shades this company offers and do the same with your shed hairs.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.

I don't have experience with black hair as mine is a redish blonde. I have always treated my entire head with special attention to application around the sides and sideburn area as this is where my gray hair shows more than on top. Once you apply the creme on a daily basis and your hair begins to lose the gray, I only apply a couple of times a week or sometimes less to allow some gray to mix in. I want to avoid the appearance of a "dye job". This product is a great way to keep the gray from taking over without totally eliminating the gray.

Dont really know what you are trying to accomplish. I use primarilly for OTC hair color since most the the OTC medium browncolor has WAY to much brassiness. This tones the copper or red tones down dramatically. I add 10 drops to my hair color priorto mixing all together. Hope that helps

I didn't. The color came out a beautiful brown. I note as it faded, it had an ashy tone which my hair stylist said is due to the base which lacks any yellow tones. So I switched to medium golden brown which leaves me with golden highlights in the brown. My hair is brown originally. The cosamo colors both worked well but I do find they fade quickly after washing a few times. I leave the color on 40 minutes. That's all I can say, I had no purple.
